Could terrorists turn themselves into Ebola suicide 'bombs'?
The Daily Mail ^ | 9 October 2014 | Ted Thornhill

Posted on 10/09/2014 10:54:19 AM PDT by Fenhalls555

Terrorist group Isis may be considering using Ebola as a suicide bio-weapon against the West, according to a military expert.

The virus is transmitted by direct contact with an infected person who is showing the symptoms – and it wouldn't be difficult for fanatics to contract it then travel to countries they want to wreak havoc in, according to a military expert.

Capt. Al Shimkus, Ret., a Professor of National Security Affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, said that the strategy is entirely plausible.

He told Forbes: 'The individual exposed to the Ebola Virus would be the carrier. In the context of terrorist activity, it doesn't take much sophistication to go to that next step to use a human being as a carrier.'

And Professor Anthony Glees, Director at Buckingham University's Centre for Security and Intelligence Studies, agrees that the strategy might be considered.

He said: 'In some ways it’s a plausible theory – IS fighters believe in suicide and this is a potential job for a suicide mission. They are sufficiently murderous and well-informed to consider it, and they know that we’ve been remiss in the UK.'

That would be a great strategic use of Westernized jihadis, particularly the airhead women.

The shelf life of an infected person is fairly short, but the damage such a person could do is immense.

I’m sad to say it.

“If you had a container of blood from an Ebola victim, how long would the virus survive before the blood could be sprayed over a crowd?”

CDC says it can survive outside the body for 6 days. It lives in blood anyway, so it seems like it should be able to survive indefinitely in a blood sample.

Actually the toilet was originally invented by the Sudanese. Shortly after, Europeans invented the hole.

I have had this thought on my mind for awhile. These terrorist have no problem blowing themselves to bits taking out as my innocent people along they way so why not bring Ebola here? I say yes indeed.

C B R, chemical, biological and or radiological warfare has been around since time immemorial. Delivery is now a bit more efficient and certainly much more lethal. Is it part of Agenda 21 to reduce the world population?

Of course not.

It wouldn't be necessary.  Simply collecting the body fluds to be disbursed on target, would be a much better plan.

Can someone with ebola strap dynamite to their chest and blow themselves up at the next SOTU address? Please?

I’m kidding of course. Except if I’m not.

Do the jihadi goatlovers read Free Republic?
